History
• 1927 Antonio Egas Moniz
 • Cerebral angiography
• 1960 
 Luessenhop and Spence
 • AVM embolization
• 1969 Fedor A. Serbinenko
 • Balloon occlusion of cerebral artery
History

• 1974 Gruntzig & Hopff
 • Angioplasty for stenotic vessels
• 1987 Sigwart
 • Coronary stent
• 1995 Guido Guglielmi : GDC coil
Present
• Endovascular measures
 • Occlude
   •   coils, liquid and particle embolizers, balloon,
       stent

 • Open up
   •   balloon, stent, drugs
Present
• Endovascular therapy can treat
 • Aneurysm, AVM, AVF, CCF
 • Intra- and extracranial arterial stenosis
 • Acute ischemic stroke
 • Dural sinus thrombosis
• Nearly all cerebrovascular diseases can be
  treated
Acute stroke
• Thrombolysis
 • intra-venous rTPA
 • intra-arterial urokinase, rTPA...
 • mechanical
   • thrombus aspiration, thrombus buster,
      stenting
Penumbra system
• CE and FDA certificated
 • Indication for use (501k document)
   • Revasculization of patients with acute
      ischemic stroke secondary to
      intracranial large vessel occlusive
      disease within 8 hours of symptom
      onset
System Components


• Reperfusion Catheter
  – Optimized design for efficient navigation and aspiration

• Separator™
  – Operator controlled movement clears Reperfusion Catheter
    enabling continuous aspiration.

• Penumbra Aspiration Pump & Aspiration Tubing
  – Provides continuous, physiologic vacuum that can be controlled
    from the sterile field.
